Lyrics

I remember the day I thought I'd never hear your voice again
I never felt so alone & afraid
When I heard the news, the news that you might not make it back to me
I couldn't breathe, wondering if you would be okay

I thought of our past, all the times that we laughed, and I had to hold on
'til you walked through the door with your arms open wide
bringing warmth like the sun

But, oh...

Chorus
You almost slipped away
Just like a falling star
with a light that burns so bright
and then fades into the sky
But now here I am sharing my life and all my love with you
And I'm so glad you're back in my arms
Cause you almost slipped away

Used to be, I'd forget all those little things that mean so much
Now I hug and kiss you just because!
& baby I see we won't be here forever so with your love as my guide
I promise you I'll cherish every moment by your side

You're the whole world to me, it's so easy to see
Baby you're my best friend
All I wanna do is give my love to you over and over again

And to think

(Repeat Chorus)

I thought I'd never touch you again for the rest of my life
I thought I'd never look again into those beautiful eyes
But now I'm standing here with a miracle in my arms, and I can see
that each time you breathe, you give my life back to me

But oh...
(Repeat Chorus)
